Pte. Harold Sidney Marshall 12th Battalion Norfolk RegimentPrivate Harold Sidney Marshall was born 14th May 1899 in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Enlisted at the outbreak of the Great War but being very underage his family informed the authorities. He later joined the Norfolk Regiment and served in the 2/6th Cyclist Battalion and later 12th Yeomanry Battalion. His first service number was 2284 and later in the war 265330.Sadly, he lost his brother Charles John Marshall who served as Private 353931 London Regiment on 23rd May 1917 and his stepbrother Private 43277 Edmund Howard Nicholson 1st Battalion Norfolk Regiment killed in action 4th September 1916.
Whilst my grandfather Harold served with the 2/6th Cyclists on the Yorkshire coast he met my grandmother Phyllis Readhead of Flamborough. They married after the war when he returned from overseas service with the 12th Yeomanry battalion.
I have my grandfather's army form Z18 which lists his wartime army service details. I believe it was intended to help ex-soldiers find employment after demobilisation. It states he was a good Lewis gunner and Trench Mortar instructor plus ending up as acting Company Quartermaster Serjeant.
